A little therapy ride
Rode 187 miles today to test the R6 shock. I got a bit of a later start than usual. When I saw the cloudy skies, I almost turned around before deciding to keep going until I reached the forecasted afternoon showers.
Got to the top of Blood Mountain only to discover cloudier skies.
I decided to ride back down and up again before heading over to Richard Russell. Much more traffic riding in the afternoon than in the mornings! I still had fun though and the r6 shock on the gen1 is amazing. I didn't scrape my boot once on Blood Mountain, usually I touch down at least twice in the tighter curves.
Glad I got a ride in before TS Lee gets to town. Here's my loop:
Next time I'll ride what I planned Blood Mountain (Us 129) to 180 to 17 to 76 to 197 then into Helen.

What happened?
As for me, I have resumed weekend rides in East TN for some time. Don't know when that will stop again but soon. Did some 250 miles today.

You can't say something like that without telling the story. :wow:
How the heck did you get kicked off of blood mountain? I saw two cops all day long and neither one of them were on the mountain.

Well, 2 weeks ago rode with 4 supersports and spanked them, then laid it down in a parking lot the next Tuesday. :l taking fairing off today, bending out mounts and checking everything over 100% I haven't ridden it in a while.

I put the hand guards back on and connected the grip heaters (I broke the others back when I replaced the handlebar right before christmas) in prep for weekend trip to the mountains. I figure it's better to have them and not need them than need them and wish I had them!

Used a 3M 3 stage puffing system to clean up the tank. It's lookin schweeeeetttt!
Also rode to work last night, the weather conditions these days are perfect for making the gen 1 scary powerful! Taking full advantage of it

It may be looking sweet noob, but that "quarter size" picture is not doing anything for us here!:nerd: Maybe a different link to a bigger shot?

Well today I just rode her hard and put her away wet!
Yesterday I gave her a sponge bath and then took her out for a little air dry, ya know.... let that fast hot summer air run all over her more exposed parts, and finished the hand (dry) job I gave her at the car wash after a 600 mile weekend ride. I put a freshly washed left boot to her shifter over and over again and after repetedly twisting that throddle spot until we we both screamed with......O wait Wrong forum :smoking:
No mods yet just a great ride on a fresh set of rubber. Gota love this ride.

Lower Cowl.
Ordered a lower cowl today for my 07 cobalt blue Fazer. Yamaha NZ want $850NZ here so I ordered on line at Commonwealth Powersports Petersburg VA US $459US + shipping. The bottom of the bike looks not finished off without one. There $390US at OC Yamaha but only sell inside the US.:waiting:

put a new set of 120/70 190/55 Michelin Pilot Road3 on and took the opportunity to mount the 90° angle airlet (or how do you call that little tube on the rim to inflate/deflate your tire)
